But when you're talking about the idea of shipping teenagers with other teenagers? Especially for series where the bulk of the characters are teenagers, a lot of the audience is teenaged, and many of the adults in the fandom probably got into it when they were also teenagers?
That's not gross. That's fandom. And trying to equate it to the sexual abuse and molestation of real children is horrifying on all kinds of levels. People should be ashamed of themselves.

I think it gets pretty ridiculous in this case (if this is about Ava's Demon) because the people who are complaining about the "underage nudity" and "pedophila" seem to have very little problem with shipping, for example, Free! characters at the same time.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-16 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)The conversation the other day about the GW fandom is a case in point. Massive fandom as its height, with all sorts of smut and kink going on, and the main characters were 15/16. I don't remember any discussion of their ages at all. Not even when they were shipped with the 20+ year old characters.
The GW fandom was crazy for other reasons, but I dread to imagine what it would've been like if it was played out today against the backdrop of Tumblr.
